HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
A Correction.

  In our Thursday's happenings we stated that the death of little 
Harry, son of Mr. E. C. Bell, of Gaysport, was superinduced by scarlet 
fever, which we have since learned was not the case and has been a 
source of great annoyance to Mr. Bell and his family.  None of Mr. 
Bell's family have had the dreaded disease, and in fact there has not 
been a single case of it on the street on which he resides.  The true 
cause of his child's death was peritonitis.
